a shower here a while back.....in the clear slot on radar but storms within 30 miles to the south and west

Well there are a few drops of rain here now but they only lasted for a few seconds.

Lightning not far from overhead, about 4 seconds between flash and thunder.

Not lot lighting or in this rain Strom and like the one we had 21st of April and that one was a great storm but I'm waiting to see when we get some big nice long lasting thunderstorms again I wait to end of this month into next month and wait the UK cape chat gets good

Heavy rain on Bedminster down but no thunder. Has given everything a soaking though so will be a fun commute home to Stoke Gifford!

Lovely and sunny here, but it's as black as your hat over Salisbury Plain.

Warminster right in the thick of it!

We certainly are! Still pouring now but thundery activity ceased after 15 minutes.

Will be eager to check my gauge once it stops!

Temperature dropped over 8c in the first half hour of rain !!

Stopped in Trowbridge now but really intense rain for 20 mins, no thunder though. Smells very fresh out now and sun reappearing to the south and west.

[jtay]

It looks like it's spreading South slightly on the radar. 

We've lost the Sun.

Trying to get a brew on, so could do with a nice evening.

A lovely sunny afternoon after a cloudy morning and some hovering darker clouds early afternoon.
A high of 24.6c at 4pm and now 24c.

Bath's valley shower shield is working today, only had a brief spell of moderate rain at about 11:30 and all the heavy stuff this afternoon has split and gone round us or formed just after passing over.

[Andy Bown]

Yeah you got lucky, unlucky for us.

[Rich_Clements]

First rain in a month here this afternoon, soom blew over and made everything steamy.

[Lyn-M]

A big fat zero here.

[Mapantz]

Pretty much sunny all day. 24.3°C the high.

[ThundersnowDays]

Barely any rain here. Just a sprinkling for a minute. Yet just a few miles away there were torrential downpours. 

[Andy Bown]

Absolutely glorious morning and warming quickly after a misty, cool start, although it is wet underfoot after yesterday's deluge!

Remarkable to think we had not far off a months worth in a few hours!

People locally (who live at the bottom of a few hilly roads! Imagine the run off there) blaming flash floods on the council not clearing drains etc! The clearest drains on the planet wouldn't have coped!

[lettice]

Pleasant this morning.
A low of 17c at 5am, now 21c, 1021.0 hPa

[Mapantz]

Poor forecasting once again, and that was at 3am. A lot of cloud around this morning. Temp not particularly impressive either.

[Frosty hollows]

Still no rain here. We had less than 1mm in June so that's 6 weeks without any significant rain. Overcast here. 22c

[CheesepuffScott]

Quite a bit of cloud around, but dry and warm,

[matt111]

Blue skies here but not as warm as I was expecting it to be. 20.1°C. 

[CheesepuffScott]

Cloud has broken a bit now, light breeze

[MP-R]

Perfect summer day today. Essentially uninterrupted sunshine and a temp of 26C.

[Bobd29]

Lot of cloud around Trowbridge, not the wall to wall sunshine I was hoping for. Temps holding up at 23.4 but sun is intermittent.
